Visual Accessibility for Older Eyes

I am enjoying the new client so far. Regarding the desktop version of the client, specifically Mac, the font size is challenging to read. Additionally, shiny card text is even harder to read due to the while text box not appearing when mousing over.

I am farsighted due to aging eyes, and am having a hard time with the text size as it is. Either a larger text size or accessibility zoom would be great to have. It's hard to read the main card text but almost impossible to see the smaller text like retreat cost.

    Accessibility is not on their dictionary, specially in desktop version.

    I agree, the tiny fonts used on my MacBook Pro 14 inch are too small to read. My vision is fully corrected and I still can't read about 50% of the text in game. This makes it unplayable.

    The text is just too small in some situations... how surgery would fix that?

    Increasing the cards and the text size is what should be done, specially in the desktop version there is a lot of unused space.
